Abstract

En 中文
Alkylidenecyclobutanes constitute an important class of structural motifs. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between bromoalkylidenecyclobutanes and aryl halides using inexpensive and readily available zinc powder as the reductant, providing efficient access to substituted alkylidenecyclobutanes. This transformation features a broad substrate scope and excellent functional-group tolerance. The products can be further elaborated into more complex architectures containing cyclobutane rings. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a radical-based pathway.
